I would generally consider gluten-free to be wheat-free. However, some foods may be technically gluten-free, but still have wheat-derived contents. This is rare, and not something I have seen, but sometimes people leave comments arguing that gluten-free is not wheat-free. In my opinion you are generally safe from wheat if you eat gluten-free.

The flour may have less gluten in it, but it won’t be gluten-free. Avoid!

I’m finding more and more gluten-free food of all types in even main-stream supermarkets. Hunt around and I hope you can find fantastic bread in stores which are convenient to you.

I had an interesting experience I think I could share with you if I may? I have been gluten intolerant most of my life, if notall. (not sure how that gets started, besides being fed it too early, or innoculations or who knows. I went to spend the winter in Ireland. While there, I noticed the british wheat was so different than ours. So I tried it. No reactions. The next day, I craved some ina way that is more like a malnourished person, need more of that good nutrition. Ate some more. No reaction.

This continued, till I began to notice slowly, that I was gaining weight. I am usually 95 lb soaking wet. But I could see in the mirror good things were happening ! My appitite picked up a bunch, and all the food tasted so good.

After 3 mth of being thre, I still had no reactions from any grains (usually I cannot eat spelt either and I was eating that also), or yet from any foods at all.

I purchased the whole wheaten meal as they call it, and made many leavening-free pastries with coconut oil, dry fruits and nuts, and was eating this. My health just cleared right up. Nearly every symptom I ever had dissappeared slowly, but surely.

The reason I share this, is that I believe we should be growing our own foods about now, where we can, such as fruits and veggies. And for your wheat, if you want to try it, and it is not too dangerous for you in your thoughtful estimation, you may obtain it by going to foodireland.com only buy the course whole wheaten meal. I believe that is a yellow/brown bag called “Odlum’s wholemeal course 2kg.

I think over in Ireland there are almost no cell phone towers, and many other toxins are not present which we wasteful US ers have. So this is a word of caustion, in that perhaps here there are many more factors weakening the body, since we have so much going on. But many of my family and friends who have traveled, notice no change in their health while there..so we must weigh things out for ourselves.
